The current State school funding formula does not allow districts to keep up with the increasing costs associated with funding school operations. If districts need additional funds to support school operations, they must ask taxpayers for approval through an operational referendum.
This scenario is not unique to Fond du Lac. In fact, the majority of Wisconsin school districts currently have active referendums to fund operational needs.
The current budget projection shows a budget shortfall of $7-9 million per year over the next four years. This projection model assumes no new funding support from the State. While we are hopeful the State will provide additional funding to districts, we are forced to plan with the assumption of only having current funds. We are asking taxpayers to support additional funds to support school operations so that the District does not have to make major cuts to staff and programming, that would impact student learning.

The Fond du Lac Board of Education voted unanimously to go to referendum on April 1, 2025, asking taxpayers to authorize the District to exceed the revenue limit for four years for maintaining operations, maintenance expenses and providing for security upgrades in the District.
Over the next few months, the District will share more information about the referendum plan through our District website, social media, local news sources and direct mail. We encourage all residents to reach out with any questions about the referendum.
